The 'Courtney's of Whimple' stunning, ancient cider orchard off Southbrook Lane, Whimple, Devon will be open to the public for the weekend for all to explore, be entertained by live music and to relax with family and friends.
Be part of the Courtneys cider making experience by helping with this year's harvest of cider apples. There is also the opportunity to press apples you have collected from the orchard with our apple crushing and pressing equipment to have your own natural apple juice to take away (max 10kgs per person). Alternatively, bring your own apples and we'll press them for you to take home. It doesn't get fresher than that!
Let time pass you by in one of East Devon's oldest orchards - one of the 'original' Whiteways of Whimple orchards. Some trees are over 100 years old and still producing a fabulous crop!
WHAT'S ON OVER THE WEEKEND
Apple Picking - Be part of the Courtneys Cider making experience by helping to harvest this year’s apple crop. Explore and relax in our ancient East Devon orchards, experiencing nature at its finest.
Apple Pressing - The opportunity to press apples you have brought with you to create your own fresh juice or press the apples you have picked from the orchard (note: charge £2 per kg - either bring your own vessels for juice or we can provide free of charge).
Live Music - will be played from the Orchard at various times on both days. We are just finalising our line up which will be updated here soon.
Bar - Experience the Courtney's Drinks range including cocktails, our prize-winning traditional, cloudy, low-alcohol ciders and soft drinks from our cider bar.
Refreshments - Hot and cold refreshments will be available all day including a pizza van (new for 2024).
Stalls - Local small business entrepreneurs will be onsite offering a varied selection of gifts and produce for all to enjoy.
A RELAXING DAY
Grab a cider, some tasty food and relax in the beautiful East Devon countryside and enjoy our picking and pressing experience with live music.
All in all - a cracking day out for all in the fresh air at a local family business in East Devon.
